New Year's cards quilling for beginners. quilling

IN holidays I always want something unusual and original. Something that no one else has. Various decorations for the New Year, which are produced on an industrial scale, do not always satisfy the requirements of buyers. That is why New Year's quilling can be not only a pleasant pastime, but also an ideal option for the most demanding originals.

What it is

First of all, it is worth understanding what this technique is. New Year's quilling, like any other, is paper rolling. Or rather, a whole art that first appeared in Europe at the end of the fourteenth century. This technique is based on the ability to twist ordinary paper in such a way that unusual figures or ornaments are obtained, which are subsequently compiled into whole compositions. New Year's quilling is postcards, toys, crafts for New Year theme made with simple tools.

What will be required

For such art, not too many materials are required: paper and transparent PVA glue. Of the tools: scissors, an awl (sharp, long, thin), tweezers without notches at the end. The hardest part is choosing the right one. First, the edges of the tweezers should converge one to one, without gaps. Secondly, it should cling well, that is, spring. Otherwise, you will get very poor quality quilling. New Year's crafts will be sloppy and clumsy.

How to twist

It would seem that it could be easier - to twist the paper. But not everything is so clear. New Year's quilling, like any other, is a special technique, although not too complicated. First you need to cut the paper into strips, the width of which does not exceed 3-4 mm. You can do this manually, you can buy ready-made material in a specialized store, or you can pass the sheet through a shredder, which will neatly and evenly spread it into strips. Then the paper is wound on the tip of the awl very tightly. After 10 skeins, you can continue to twist the strips by hand, constantly supporting them with your other hand so that the skein does not unravel. The already finished twist is glued with glue, creating a composition using the quilling technique. New Year's cards, by the way, are in special demand. Especially if you connect fantasy when creating them.

snowman card

This is one of the easiest compositions that beginners master in the first place. A very dense skein is twisted from white paper. PVA glue is applied to the prepared postcard (it can be both purchased and homemade). But not the entire area, but only the one where the lower "ball" of the snowman will be located. The skein of paper is gradually loosened in the hands so that it unwinds a little. Then it is placed on the adhesive base and pressed a little, fixing the position. The next skein should be somewhat smaller in length so that the second “ball” is smaller in volume, like a real snowman. It is glued in the same way. The last third "ball" is performed in the same way as the previous ones, but its volume should be even less than that of the second. A bucket or a hat for a snowman can be drawn by hand or twisted from dark paper. The arms and legs are also made using the quilling technique. New Year's cards with snowmen turn out to be especially interesting if you add not only painting, but also sparkles and additional decorative elements. For example, buttons or sequins.

Christmas tree toy

New Year's quilling (do-it-yourself and lovingly made crafts) is not only a way to "kill" time, but also a great option for a gift souvenir for the holiday. Therefore, beginners should definitely try to make a Christmas tree using this technique. It is not difficult, but the result will surprise even the most demanding originals. First you need a sheet of green cardboard, which is twisted into a cone, and the edges are fastened with a stapler so that the figure does not spread. Droplets will be made from light green or emerald quilling paper (that is, ready-made strips). The technique is not at all complicated. First, ordinary hanks are twisted from strips of greater length than all subsequent ones. When they are ready, they are slightly relaxed in the hands so that the paper unwinds, then one side is squeezed in the hands of the thumb and forefinger. This will give the shape a droplet shape. PVA glue is applied to the bottom of the cone, a ready-made large drop made in quilling technology is pressed against it. New Year's crafts, by the way, may not be exactly green, like real Christmas trees, but also of any other color. The entire bottom of the cone should be pasted over with such large droplets. The next row will be smaller, so the strips are slightly shortened. Medium drops are overlapped with large ones, like tiles. And so on until the whole tree is ready. The top can be decorated with a finished star or twisted out of paper using the quilling technique. You should not rush when gluing, each row should dry well.

Craft "Snowflake"

Unfortunately, christmas toys(quilling technique is meant) are not too durable. Unlike crafts, which are easy to store, because they do not take up much space. Even a child can make a snowflake craft. Small dense hanks are twisted from white or blue paper, which are then compressed into droplets. Dimensions should be as equal as possible so that the craft does not look skewed or sloppy. PVA glue is applied to colored cardboard, then droplets are glued in turn. It is noteworthy that they should dock with rounded sides, and not sharp ones. This is the most simple snowflake without any complex elements. Over time, when there will be more experience, you can improve the compositions, making them original and openwork.

At the initial stage, when quilling is just being mastered, you should not take complex work as an example. It is enough to learn how to make simple but versatile blanks, which in the future can be mixed and combined into large compositions. So, for example, a New Year's quilling snowflake can be made from such shapes as a droplet, a circle, an oval, a heart, a curl. Do not be afraid to experiment, but do not set yourself too difficult tasks in the first lessons, so as not to be disappointed in such art.

What is quilling?

For those who do not know what the quilling technique is, I would like to take a short digression. This type of needlework is considered very simple, but at the same time, very beautiful. Quilling does not require expensive tools and materials. All you need to work - good mood, interesting idea and time.

During the creation of compositions, paper strips with a width of 3, 4, 6 and 10 mm are used. There may be several twisting devices.

Exist professional cars for twisting, which are sold in specialized stores, as well as improvised tools, such as a tapestry needle with a large eye and a round wooden stick 10 cm long.

It is also advisable to stock up on tweezers with flat tips. It is needed in order to hold the paper blank, apply glue to it and stick it to the surface.

As for other devices that are necessary for working in the quilling technique, they can be found in any home. These are scissors (preferably with sharp ends), a ruler, toothpicks, PVA glue.

If you decide to get serious like this needlework, then the stores sell whole sets, which include all the right tools and you don't have to collect them separately.

The last craft will be not only wonderful, but also an appropriate gift, because 2017 is the year Fire Rooster. So your Petya, made using the quilling technique, will become a pleasant Christmas tree.

"Bright Cockerel"

It would seem impossible to create such wonderful pictures and figures from ordinary strips of paper. But as practice shows, the main thing is perseverance and a little imagination, and the rest is up to the small. If you decide to make a cockerel for the New Year 2017, then choose the perfect example for yourself (photos are presented below), stock up on all necessary materials and get down to business.

Examples how to do New Year's rooster can be found in any format and size. It can be both free-standing figures and the silhouette of a bird.

Dare! You will succeed, and after a while you will be able to present a cute panel or a wonderful picture with a cockerel in the title role.

original snowflake

The most common decoration at the New Year's holiday are snowflakes. We hang them on the Christmas tree, draw or sculpt them on the windows, make garlands out of them. Why not go beyond the usual limits and create wonderful winter compositions based on the quilling technique?! Put in a little effort, and you will have beautiful openwork snowflakes at home, which, moreover, you can give to friends as a keepsake.

For creating new year snowflakes You will need:

• special paper for quilling;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• stationery knife;
• toothpick.

Step 1. Cut strips of quilling paper 25-27 mm long, 3-5 mm wide.

Step 2 Take a toothpick - it will be your main tool in this work. Cut off the sharp tip on one side and make a small incision with a clerical knife - about 1 cm.

Step 3 Insert the first paper strip into the notch and slowly twist it into a spiral. Make sure that the paper is curled, and not just a toothpick. In this case, there is no need to rush, because then the craft may not work out.

Step 4 The finished spiral must be removed from the toothpick and placed on a flat surface so that it unwinds slightly.

Step 5 Apply a little glue to the end of the strip and glue the spiral.

Step 6 To make one snowflake, you must follow the same principle to make several similar curls of different shapes and sizes.

Step 7 Fold the resulting spirals into a snowflake, carefully gluing each part.

Volumetric Christmas tree

This bright christmas composition can be a great table decoration, as well as a wonderful gift for loved one, colleague or relative.

For creating volumetric Christmas tree You will need:

• scissors;
• quilling paper;
• ruler-pattern with circles of different diameters;
• PVA glue;
• toothpick;
• tweezers.

If you don't have a quilling tool, an ordinary toothpick with a cut end can easily replace it.

Step 1. For work, take special paper green color and cut it into several dozen strips 3 mm wide, and also cut the paper Brown into strips 7 mm wide.

Step 2 Brown stripes need to be wound into loose curls, for example, on a regular marker. Lubricate their ends with glue and glue. Brown "barrels" are ready!

Step 3 Now you need to make green blanks. Wind the paper around the awl (toothpick) and insert it into the ruler of size 16. Let me loosen up. To remove the curl from the ruler, you need to insert a toothpick into the center, slightly move to the center and remove.

Step 4 Glue the end of the spiral with PVA glue. Squeeze the curl lightly so that it takes the form of a droplet. Prepare 10 such drops. Wrap each curl with a white strip of the same width and glue it. This is the first row of the Christmas tree.

Step 5 We make the second row according to the same principle, only insert it into the circle at number 15. Twist 10 such curls. Glue the first two rows, as shown in the photo.

Step 6 Now make spirals for the third row by inserting them into the hole at number 14. Glue.

Step 7 For the fourth row you will need a circle, size 13. The same size must be taken for rows 5 and 6. Glue all the details carefully to each other, as you can see in the photo. Glue another "drop" to the top. Decorate the Christmas tree with beads, and it's ready!

Postcards are always a great addition to a gift. And if these postcards are made with your own hands, then the value of the gift rises to heaven, because the soul of the donor, his good mood and sincere wishes are invested there.

Materials:
- blue pastel paper 15x30 cm (density 160 g/m2);
- scrap paper - a square with a side of 15 cm (you can print beautiful background on watercolor paper)
- a piece of paper for watercolor or drawing paper;
- green quilling paper width 2-3mm, red, light and dark yellow, stripes width 5 mm;
- quilling tool;
- a simple pencil;
- scissors manicure and curly;
- figured edge puncher;
- ruler-stencil with circles of different diameters;
- PVA glue carpenter;
- creasing (you can use a non-writing core of a ballpoint pen);
- half beads;
- silver-blue ink pad and "Congratulations" stamp;
- cutting - frame;
- and most importantly ... good mood!

Cut a 15x30 cm rectangle from a sheet of pastel paper. This is the basis of the postcard. For an even fold in the middle, go through the creasing and fold in half.

Pass a square of scrap paper with a side of 15 cm with a figured edge hole punch. If it is not there, then a beautiful edge can be created using curly scissors. In this case, the size of the square will be 14.5 cm.

Glue scrap paper on the front side of the card with PVA glue, placing it in the center. And put under pressure. You can use double-sided tape when sticking scrapbook paper. This glue is thick, quickly and firmly glues.

From a sheet of white office paper, measure a square with a side of 13.5 cm.

Cut off a 13.5 cm square with curly scissors. Thus, you get 2 even edges and 2 curly ones.

Glue on the inside of the back of the postcard. This will be the place to write your congratulations. You can decorate a branch with a stamp (as a gift while I was preparing the MK, so it is not in the photo with the material).

To create bells, you will need 6 strips, 5mm wide for each. Glue paper tape thus: 2 dark yellow + 2 light yellow + 2 dark yellow.

Using a special tool, twist a tight roll, glue the tip. Roll the second roll in the same way.

Gently extrude the roll, giving the desired shape. Fill with plenty of glue. And leave to dry. I used the ruler to take pictures.

For a bow, you will need 3 red stripes 5mm wide. Using a quilling tool, twist a roll from one strip and dissolve to 12mm. Make 2 parts.

Give the roll a “drop” shape, and then, holding the tip with your fingers, press the base of the tool (brush) on top. You get a triangle shape.

Twist a tight roll from the third strip, pour plenty of glue. This will be the knot of the bow.

To create a Christmas tree, you will need 36 strips 2-3 mm wide. (I had strips cut from office paper 5 mm wide. I cut them in half along the long side.) Roll a roll from a 30 cm long strip and dissolve it to 12 mm. Glue the end.

Give the roll a drop shape.

Lubricate all parts with plenty of PVA glue joiner and allow to dry. Formed from glue transparencies, which prevents the roll from crumbling. And gives flexibility.

Christmas tree assembly. Decide on a location for the tree. Glue the bottom row of 8 parts first, in the form of a small arc. Glue is applied to the workpiece. For preschoolers, you can draw the top line of the row to make it easier to navigate.

Then glue the second row of 7 parts, placing them between the details of the first row, sticking a little on top of the lower parts. Like this.

Each next row will be one piece less. Glue them in the same way as before. Thus: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.

Continue assembling the postcard. Glue the bells on the PVA glue joiner, placing them side by side.
F21

Decorate the bells with a bow by gluing the details, corners to each other. Glue a "knot" over the joint.

Trace the “frame” cutout on a piece of paper for watercolor or whatman paper using a creasing tool. Cut out with nail scissors.

Go through the edges of the cutting with an ink pad suitable color. The ink pad can be replaced watercolor paint by applying it to a sponge or foam rubber.

Stick to the chosen place.

Pass the ink pad over the stamp "Congratulations".

Place an imprint on the cutting. Be careful with this!!! You can put an imprint in place for congratulations.

Supplement the decoration with half beads using PVA glue joiner: in the corners of scrap paper and above the Christmas tree.

Quilling (English quilling; from quill "bird feather"), also known as paper rolling - the art of making flat or voluminous compositions from long and narrow strips of paper twisted into spirals. The finished spirals are given various shapes and thus paper rolling elements, also called modules, are obtained. Already they are the "building" material in the creation of works - paintings, postcards, albums, photo frames, various figurines, watches, jewelry, etc.

The art of paper rolling originated in the late 14th and early 15th centuries in Mediterranean Europe. It is believed that quilling was invented by monks. Cutting off the gilded edges of the books, they wound them around the tips of bird feathers, hence the name (quill - translated from English as “bird feather”).

In Russia, this art became popular only at the end of the 20th century; quilling is also very popular in Germany and England.

This technique does not require significant material costs.

Very beautiful toys on the Christmas tree can be done using the quilling technique.

Christmas snowflake

Scissors;

Ruler;

Stationery knife;

Progress:

1. Cut quilling paper strips 25-27 mm long, 3-5 mm wide.

2. Insert the first strip of paper into the notch of the tool and slowly twist it into a spiral. In this case, there is no need to rush, because then the craft may not work out.

3. The finished spiral must be removed from the tool and placed on a flat surface so that it unwinds slightly.

4. Apply a little glue to the end of the strip and glue the spiral.

5. Make the required number of blanks.

6. When the required number of parts are ready, start forming a snowflake. Gently squeezing the round blank, give it the desired shape. Start gluing the pieces together, forming a snowflake out of them.

7. Finished snowflake can be decorated with beads, ribbons, rhinestones.

Christmas ball

For such a ball you need a base. It can be a ball of foam, plastic or glass.

To avoid disappointment and multiple corrections, before starting work, you should think over the concept of your work - what colors the ball will be in, more transparent or denser elements will make it up and only then proceed to implementation.

For manufacturing you will need the following:

Special paper for quilling;

Special tool or wooden skewer;

Scissors;

Ruler;

Stationery knife;

The base around which there will be a paper decoration.

Progress:

1. Make the required number of blanks.

2. Take the base and apply glue to it in the place where the element will be located.

3. Attach the element and let the glue set. And so, step by step, cover the surface with patterns. It is better to do this with tweezers so as not to wrinkle the paper. It is better to start with large details. For example, collect a flower from drops or a snowflake from rhombuses and stick it on the base. Arrange one or more large patterns symmetrically, and fill the remaining space between them with small coils.

4. The base will show through openwork paper. This must be taken into account and selected colors suitable for each other. Quilling looks airy on a transparent ball.
